It's
do-or-die time: The House Judiciary Committee will likely pass the
Stop Online Piracy Act THIS Thursday. Once the bill moves out of
committee, the House can pass it at any time.
BUT, if we're able to kill it at this stage it'll probably never recover.
That's why we
need your help this week: We want to make sure people understand what
the Internet could be like if SOPA passes, so we're asking millions of
people to protest censorship as part of our #CensorshipEverywhere
campaign -- use our tool to censor parts of your own posts to Facebook,
Twitter, blogs, and anything and everything else.
Here's an example of what a censored email would look like:
The most important thing this week is that EVERYONE join the
protests in some way. If all of us drive our audiences to make
phonecalls, we're unstoppable. We need to jam Congress's inboxes and melt their phone lines if we're going to stop SOPA.
SOPA threatens the livelihood of the best parts of the Internet, and
the best companies that use the Internet. More than 70 representatives
from leading tech firms -- like Tumblr, Foursquare, Etsy, Kickstarter
and Reddit -- and advocacy groups from across the political spectrum
participated in a meeting to coordinate action against SOPA.
It was an inspirational meeting, and we're all going all-in to
kill this legislation. We need to do everything we can to stop it in
committee -- and everything we do this week sends a strong message to
lawmakers: voters do not want this bill.
Join us and be a hero for Internet freedom and free speech. We need you,
- David, Holmes, Tiffiniy, and the rest of the team
PS: This is it. Please help drive
as much traffic as possible to Congress this week, before Thursday's
vote. Use these buttons to enlist your friends to fight censorship --
you'll be creating 'censored' posts and tweets:
